Picked up a new tank bag yesterday.

Our local parts store had these Oxford bags on summer sale combo for $99.00  which included an expandable tail bag which I fit but removed as i don't need it right. Not the best stuff they sold but it will give me a place to haul some water and other items.  Don't make fun of my inner panels please,I just made those out of some old plastic mud flap. I can't see spending $300.00 for both of those panels and just wanted to cover some of the wiring a bit.

Does it bother you?

If not, then FuggIt!

Reminds me of that old joke:

Her: Who do you expect to please with _THAT_ little thing???

Him: ME!

Nice find on the tank bag 

Even though I usually ride with the full hard luggage, I put on a tank bag during rides. Great for the small items that you need throughout a days ride.

[/quote] I may need to add some magnets to keep it from flapping in the breeze. I have a few left over from a wind turbine I built last year. These  N 45  rare earth mags have massive holding power.  I really wanted to get the matching side bags for $90.00 at the same time but I found this jacket on sale and figured it was time to upgrade. My old jacket ( 13 yrs) has somehow got really small in the belly area.

Ok I broke down and picked up the matching side bags. These are just hanging over the seat so I could see what they looked like. I'll need to fit them under the seat and make the anti sag brackets.

I use my tank bag nearly every time I ride...allways have. This ones a Chase Harper I've had for 10 years .Before that I had an Eclipse that I had since 1982 still have It  but the C/Hrpr. expands. I have a set of Kerker soft bags that I bought in 86 that I really love and use when I need to. Each one carries a 12r so thats handy. Nice lookin bags dude. And who knows any different about yer panels but you; and us. You got a very interesting garage. love that DR and what the hell is that press?         Goin riding tomorrow!                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Charley.

Ya I'm finding the tank bag to be extremely handy. As for the inner covers ,they seem to be working out well. I didn't have a Stock F J choke knob so I robbed a knob from an old snowmobile primer and drilled the side and put a set screw in it, It worked awesome. I think the press you're referring to is my Iron worker ( red and grey 1st pic?) I have a few different small machines in my shop like brakes, shears, tube benders and what not.
